✨ What a night! Last week, our supporters walked through the heart of everything we do — and we couldn’t be more grateful. 💚

From our brand new STEM Center and 3D printers to heat press stations and alumni spotlights, our donors got a firsthand look at the programs, spaces, and people that make You Matter 2 what it is. 🙌

Shoutout to our incredible youth ambassadors who led the way, our alumni who shared their stories with pride, and every sponsor and guest who showed up for our young people. You remind us every single day why this work matters.💛

Thank you to Chase, ComEd, Old National Bank, UAW Local 551, and all of our amazing sponsors for making Walk Through Our Mission 2026 possible.
To every young person in our program — you are seen. you are valued. you matter. 🌍

We’re still feeling the magic of last Friday night🤩 Walk Through Our Mission was more than an event — it was a reminder of why we show up every single day. 💛

Every moment of the evening told the story of what’s possible when a community chooses to invest in its youth. Guests walked through our journey, bid on auction items, and came together in collective generosity that will fuel real change for young people across the South Suburban Chicago area✨

And the work doesn’t stop here. 🙌 Summer 2026 program enrollment is OPEN — and spots are filling fast! If you have a young person in your life who is ready to grow, lead, and discover their potential, head to youmatter2.org/register today. Registration closes Friday, May 29th!

Thank you to everyone who walked with us. The mission continues. 🌟
